This report summarises proposed water quality standards and conditions of use for recycled greywater and stored rainwater systems in the UK: the study on which the conclusions are based was carried out by BSRIA from October 1996 to February 1997 for the Drinking Water Inspectorate and the Department of the Environment. The topic of perceived risk to public health is addressed, and application-specific water quality standards for the UK are proposed; in addition, general requirements for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of UK systems are set out. The report concludes that the only factors limiting the wide-scale use of these water (re)sources are the perceived lack of economic benefits and doubts about water quality.
